As I’m working on Carry On Wayward Son, there are some fast spots, and I find I’m moving my body more than I normally would. I don’t think it’s giving me any mechanical advantage, but somewhere I probably developed a belief that if I lean into it, it’ll help me nail those triplets.
I’m kind of wondering how “dangerous” a habit this is…or is it just the beginning of “feeling” the music? I’m new to “feeling” the music - the other day my wife was commenting about how usually people follow things they have some natural talent with…but I find the bass so much fun and all the learning challenges I have are pretty interesting to me too. This is a School of Rock song too, so I’m wondering how muted I should try and make my movements in preparation for the show…but I’m leaning towards doing whatever I need to do to get the notes/rhythm right, regardless of what I look like.
So just curious about whether these movements are part of the process, or a bad habit that I should try and nip in the bud?
